Lyrics:
INTRO:
Where do you rep?
Who do you claim?
What’d you believe in?
What is your aim?
Is it money?
Is it fame?
Is it honeys?
Is it change?
Is it gain,
without pain?
levitate, David Blaine?
Rose from the concrete, what is your name?
Boy boy what you looking for to spark the flame?


VERSE 1:
I’m looking for the lights, of course!
Learning to ride on a driving course
With a 5 legged horse named charlie,
2 and a half men sitting on a harley,
could hardly believe I would get so far but I’m raising the bar, see.
In the back of a car seat, up in Bali with no car keys, Imma imma imma imma

I want a piece of the pie
gimme that 3.14159
Gone till the sun don't shine. 
I'm on a quest no stress and I'll take whats mine
Live life like life is a prize, if I want it imma get imma die for the light
I do do do do do...

Reaching for the sky with the devil on my shoulder, 
Days are getting longer, getting harder and I’m colder
Look into the mirror at the person getting older, 
I don’t know where next to go 


VERSE 2:
Rewind two double oh five, 
was a little kiddie in a german inner city, 
I wasnt really pretty 
So the guys didn’t like,
Harm no foul bye gons be gone by,
All about time so I learn to quantize
Can’t waste mine on what,if,and,why

Never on a level with the likes of these guys,

I was just an awkward child,
Sort of sweet like tate and lyle,
Picked a pen and worked a style,
Thought provoke and run them wild,
I’ve been forth and back for miles,
European chosen child, West African sorta smile
But I see you wonder who I rep



BRIDGE:

Who I claim?
What do I believe in?
What is my aim?
Is it money?
Is it it fame?
Is it honeys?
Is it change?
Is it gain,
without pain?
Is it to levitate, David Blaine.
Rose from the concrete, what is your name?
Boi boi what you looking for to spark the flame?

I’m looking the heights of course,
Learning to climb on the highest horse,
Even if its a horse named Charlie,
Too many man try bar me, 
So I’m looking at em like bar me?
You could never bar me,
Pigs get wrapped quick like Salami,
You man can’t do nuttin for me,
Trust me


VERSE 3:

Still stand my ground, rep my town, 
I dont even know where I come from now.
Used to British like a sterling pound, 
now I’m american in all of my sounds, 
accents watered, slaughtered down. 
Still want the mandem to come around.
Still wanna rep for the UK sound,
Grime is the origin, work from the ground 
I would watch AKA back when it was U,
JK2 and the Roll Deep crew,
Wot u call it? Garage? Wot u call it? Urban?
Wot u making? Pop? I don’t know genre for certain.
I got two-step bops that’ll make a man bezerk ‘n
When this new shit drops, I dont wanna hear your verbiage
Closing curtains on the lot, saying I would not see purpose
All my curses are on purpose, I’m a teacher decent learner,
Be extinct or nature nurture with it.

BRIDGE:

So where do you rep?
Who do you claim?
What’d you believe in?
What is your claim?
Is it money?
Is it it fame?
Is it honeys?
Is it change?
Is it gain,
without pain?
Is it to levitate, David Blaine.
Rose from concrete, what is your name?
Rude boy do you really think you spark the flame?

I’m looking like I, of COURSE
I’m a finite force
I’m the light and the source, of course 
oh lord, compacting a final thought
This world neither mine or yours,
Still work to the final fourth, trust me trust me, trust me...

Runs World (prod. Wize)

Lyrics:



I’ve been getting into that astrology more,
Stars say my venus ain’t combatting with yours,
You been living on the side I’ve been tryna ignore
and When I say goodbye, you wanna say bonjour you’re like,

Hey baby boy come here,
got sweet nothings for your ear
I’m so close to self combustion,
Start my car and get in gear

3 in the morning, VAT the lyft receipt,
I’ll be out before your door in 20 minutes guaranteed, said we’re here so we can talk but I know that’s not your speed 
Now ya scratching at my back like we’re the last of dying breeds, oh jheeze oh me oh my, lift your feet and close yours eyes, this that feeling for the night 


Oh it’s so hard for me to shake you
I can’t imagine life without you,
Oh how’m I gonna be without you...
You make it hard for me, its oh so hard for me

If my body was your temple could you hold the fort?
and if my cup is ever empty would you pour some more?
My rivers deep they flow from amsterdam to bangalore,
Say what you waiting for? Tell me what you’re waiting for 

Days when we fight, we usually ugh,
said that I’m arrogant, pompous and uh 
They so repressed, you’re not talking enough,
Call out my bluff, back on the wall now you’re pinning up,
Oh what the fuck, I’m giving up,
I’m so in love, I’m so enamoured by all that you are,
You be my Jupiter Saturn and stars, you are...

You should let me work you out,
put two fingers in my mouth,
Show you how I put it down,
Ayuuu, But I do ask of you

If my body was your temple could you hold the fort?
and if my cup is ever empty could you pour some more?
My rivers deep they go from amsterdam to bangalore,
Say what you waiting for? x2

No more blues, brighter hues , this is indigo
Make your move, brighter views on my 47
Alpha, Zulu, Echo, Delta, Hotel, Indigo
Wanna ride my 74, then what you waiting for?

Indigo (prod. yourbeautifulruin)

Tell me what's the matter?

Mix/Master: Allen Xu @yourbeautifulruin
Guitar: Sammy Gessesse


Intro: 

Tell me what’s the, tell me what’s the, tell me what’s the,
Tell me what’s the matter with being a faggot rapper if I’m already doing what you don’t?
Fuck your bros, fuck your pros if you need me you can find me in a league of my own, yeah.


Verse 1: 

I’ve got the best kept secret,
Put it in your pocket promise that you'll never leak it
I swore not to repeat it,
Take it from me you don't have to believe it.

Well actual-fucking-ly you should probably believe that,
How can they compete with the body of an expat,
Mind on a jetpack,
To infinity and beyond, before I get back you tell em bring ya best raps,

But I dont have the heart to be concerned with you breddas,
So Imma do my dance like my first name Fela,
Pull on every gyal, everyone, every fella
Hard to not admit I’m not a pretty motherfucker,
Wait what?! Can you name a bitch badder than me?
Well if you can, then you gotta be madder than me.
Cause I’ve been patterning speeds since I was turning 13,
No longer rapping for free, I’m checking every receipt you know.






Chorus:

Little can you tell I was giving niggas hell way before I had a CD on a shelf,
Little can you tell, never need a wishing well. 
Why do for you when you could do yourself?
So, tell me what’s the matter with being a faggot rapper,
If I’m already doing what you don’t? 
Fuck your bros, fuck your pros 
If you need me you can find me in a League of my own


Bridge:

I might try to deny it, but I’m out here causing a riot, 
Keeping it quiet, aint in my diet no
hitch another ride and go
I been onna highs and lows 
but you could never flop me you can never drop me,
Find another copy? No. 
You don’t wanna see I blow,
Here com another episode.


Verse 2:

From day they branded me the person with the plan,
Who can lock off any show, every city grandstand,
I ain’tstepping out my yard if its less than a grand
I know who the fuck I am, they can catch me if they can

I know you're prolly mad at me, 
the way your madam’s eyeing me,
Eyeing me, partner why you look so bothered?
For nothing 
Give me one more year, I’m snatching plaques, all honours you know




Chorus:

Little can you tell I was giving niggas hell way before I had a CD on a shelf,
You can prolly can you tell, never need a wishing well. 
Why do for you when you can do yourself?
So, tell me what’s the matter with being a faggot rapper,
If I’m already doing what you don’t? 
Fuck your bros, fuck your pros 
If you need me you can find me in a League of my own


Hook: 
Those who think that they know me, they wanna say I changed,
All the shit that I been through, how I could stay the same?
Fire Alie, we could do or we die for the greater gain,
But I’m not going back again, I’m not going back again.

League of My Own (prod. Glassic)

Mixed/Mastered: Allen Xu (@yourbeautifulruin)

Verse 1:

I was 13 living at my mums house when I counted out my first 16, 
BET, base MTV put me on a track that I needed to be.
When I was 17 hadda go college, so I went college and I like college, 
now bare girls wanna give me their knowledge, 
head top spins and i can’t control it

Put foot down, revving up hydraulics, 
all these city alcoholics, but I'm so solid I’m so on it
21 seconds to go and I floor it 
We're so honest
Far from polished
Thats acknowledged tho, we acknowledge woes.
Make my friends with foes

Creep into my 20’s I’m not hurried for a bentley,
give me Tommy and a Mini mister cooper, 
not a liar but a truther for the most part, 
I’m a fucking deus word to mozart,
When it comes to me I gotta roll smart

Chorus:

Why? cause I’m doing up shows, come and see me on the road,
but my mums like I miss you when you coming home?
Look well I don’t know, so call me on the phone,
she told me she’s proud, cause my voice so loud and
I’m so so bold

Yeah I’m gunning for throne, doing like the Targareon, 
and I know a lotta man are looking scared of them,
but I pay no mind, attention them? No No.
Nna, bia nulu onu anyi o,
Nna, bia nulu onu anyi o,
Hear my voice and keep my heart whole.
A Leo like me does love the attention,
still can’t let that rush the ascension,

Forgot to mention, I am that guy, I am that girl, run your world can’t you tell, life is sweet as dreams can sell,


Hook:

I’m just gonna take my time, no you don’t have to rush me,
Taking everything thats mine, don’t put no one above me
You can never break my stride, a diamond in the rough beat,


(This is my philosophy, i’ll go down a proper g, major labels hot for me, they dont want no war with me) 


Verse 2:

black swan, take one, Darren Aronofsky,
might see me running on the track of the grand prix,
Wanna feel Friday, even on a Lundi,
Wanna wake up every day to the sunbeam, 
down on my face, on a prive estate
man for goodness sake, I’m a 10 not a 8,
Not a she, but a they yet they try to erase that,
goddamn don’t you hate that?

Lotta niggas claiming that we’re bros now,
but they play dumb to the pro-nouns.
They, them, this that knick knack paddywack,
How many times can I break it down?
I am the only one fronting my regiment,
having a hell of a time and its evident 
setting a precedent,
kill and collect all american presidents, look who the devil is!


Bow in arrow, load it up then I shoot
Only play in absolutes, 
if you play this game with me i hope you know you’re gonna lose,
I will loosen up the screws, kick the door with marten boots
Take your posse, take your crew
Ho! one two three four five six, seven, eight
Fuck you and your syndicate,
No weapon formed against me gets to prosper with my say in it,
This here’s where my prayers went,

Bout to be a  problem
Weekly riddims for summer


Chorus:

and I’m doing up shows, come and see me on the road,
but 
Mums like when you coming home?
Look I don’t know, just called me on the phone,
told me she’s proud, cause my voice so loud and
I’m so so bold

Yeah I’m gunning for throne, 
doing up a Targaryon, 
and I know a lotta man are looking scared of them,
but I pay no mind, attention dem? No No.
Nna, bia nulu onu anyi o,
Nna, bia nulu onu anyi o,
Hear my voice and keep my heart whole.
cause a Leo like me does love the attention,
still can’t let that rush the ascension,
Forgot to mention, 
I am that guy, I am that girl, can’t you tell, run your world, on my past I cannot dwell

Hook:

I’m just gonna take my time, no you don’t have to rush me,
Taking everything thats mine, don’t put no one above me
You can never take my shine, I’m diamond in the rough beat,

(This is my philosophy, i’ll go down a proper g, major labels hot for me, they dont want no war with me) 

Outro:

Everybody dies, I ain’t everybody, 
you’re so restricted to the times and the hegemony, 
would you stick it to the man if he had your money? 
I got a technicolor plan if you’re running with me...

The Ascent (prod. Wize)

Verse 1:


She stood at about 5’7, 
I was a measly 5’3, 
scratch my chin in complexity, 
I hope this girl does want some of me

1 plus 1 did add up to me and her getting back to her bedroom sheets
blunt rolled now we're be getting too friendly, 
My face is your front row premier seat

Come on baby jofun mi, jofun mi,
Please don’t take your love from me.


Chorus:

Mind if I can undress like, Tangerine peel,
I must I must confess, that you hardly seem real,
Are you, are you from earth or somewhere around the globe?

I don't know, I don't know...

I know you want it bad, yes you do.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that, make your move,
I don’t how to act when I’m with you,
It’s so brand new, We’re so brand new x2



Verse 2:


She hit me widda “Fyi, I like boys too !” well shit, me too,
So come whine up your waist like you’re meaning to 
and then reach for the sky and the ceiling too.

If you leave with me thats bi and bi,
Cross my heart and hope to die,
honestly I am so terrified,
done lost my timing, all my sightings,
love for me is oh so blinding,
Stevie won’t believe me no, 
Need you now not never later keep me sprung and coming back for more.



Chorus:

Mind if I can undress you, Tangerine peel,
I must I must confess, that you hardly seem real,
Are you, are you from earth or somewhere around the globe?

I don't know, I don't know...

I know you want it bad, yes you do.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that, make your move,
I don’t how to act when I’m with you,
It’s so brand new, We’re so brand new x2
